Where the Ruby community comes together

From RubyConf to local meetups, Ruby Central brings Rubyists together to learn, connect, and shape the future of the ecosystem, whatever your experience level.

RubyConf 2026

The Ruby community's flagship annual conference. Three days of talks, workshops, and connections that shape the future of Ruby.

RubyConf has been the heartbeat of the Ruby world for over two decades. It's where ideas are born, friendships are made, and the future of the language is shaped. Whether you're a first-time attendee or a longtime community member, RubyConf is where it happens.

Calls for proposals for RubyConf 2026 are now closed.

The RubyConf program is built by the community, for the community. We want deep dives into Ruby internals, real-world lessons learned, stories about the human side of open source, and everything in between. If you've got something worth saying, this is the place to say it.

What we're looking for:

Deep dives into Ruby internals
Real-world case studies and lessons learned
Community, culture, and the human side of open source
Tools, libraries, and ecosystem contributions
